The public is invited to

attend a series of public information meetings

regarding proposed Wyoming State Park and

Historic Site fee increases expected to go into

effect on Jan. 1, 2021.

The public meetings, which can be

accessed either virtually or by phone, will

provide important information about these

proposed changes.

Public comment regarding the changes

will be made via the Secretary of State‘s

website at http://rules.wyo.gov or via email to

state.parks.parks@wyo.gov through Nov. 14.

“All revenue collected through visitor fees

goes right back to Wyo Parks’ sites to fund

operation/maintenance costs, new projects,

site enhancements and resource protection”

Wyoming State Parks Deputy Director Dave

Glenn said. “Current revenue shortfalls and

necessary budget reductions will require an

increase in revenue in order to keep state

parks and historic sites open, staffed, and

maintained. Fees collected from visitors

do not fully fund Wyo Parks operations.

Wyoming Parks also relies on general fund

dollars and funding from other sources

such as grants, motorboat gas taxes, and

donations.”

Public information meetings will be hosted

via google meets and via phone under the

following schedule.
